I checked into this hotel and it was extremely dirty. Stains in the carpet in the bedroom. Dirt ring around the bathtub, marking on the walls, paint chipping, and a very poor AC system. It also reeked of a very strong spray paint smell. Additionally, the walls are very thin and you can hear everything happening in the very tiny rooms next to you. You can get way more bang for your buck elsewhere..

Its a very decent price for a lovely place. Soap is included but a few amenities are a little poor like drinkable water in the rooms, lack of easy control over the lighting, and needing a couple chairs instead of the one for a couple's room. Eating in the hotel for a romantic night is always a possibility, and no one wants to stain the bed. That said the place was very clean and gorgeous, with good wifi, easy walking distance to wonderful ethnic restaurants, and the bed was quite comfortable, the provided soaps of good quality, and a solid deal for the price.

Location is really good but amenities could have been much better, i got no coffee refills in my room after the first night so had to go get some, the check in procedure was confusing and all online, there was hardly ever any staff at the front desk over 4 days and you get into the hotel and your room with a 5 digit code, no key which is very weird.

The hotel and location was overall good. The only issue is that there are no staff members present at the hotel. There isn’t anyone you can contact because they won’t answer you.
